Greatest numbers occurred in hydric and mesic com- munities with a mull humus layer, which supported abundant invertebrates. The type of cover (tree, shrub, herb) seemed relatively unimportant, and surprisingly. a few individuals were collected in sandy prairie with little cover, subject to temperature extremes and low soil moisture. Total collected in the present study was 262 specimens. Sorex palustris: the water shrew occurs in the area only as a southern relict population in the Carberry Sandhills (Table 3). A single specimen was obtained A.
